That is odd, I only have to do it once and other mail-clients will automatically follow suit. I use KMail and Squirrelmail to access my email. With KMail there is a distinction between client-side and server-side subscription. Squirrelmail doesn't make this distinction and always defaults to server-side. It is my understanding that IMAP-clients will use the "server-side" unless a client-side overrides these settings. -- Joost ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
